About Me

mplsmetal@yahoo.com
For a few years I published a metal/hard rock magazine that was distributed nationally through Desert Moon Distribution, Hot Topic, Tower Records, and Virgin Megastores. My real career took all my time so I ceased publication of the magazine.
Artists I have interviewed include Iron Maiden, Dio, Slipknot, Korn, Pantera, Danzig, Halford, David Coverdale, Incubus, and many, many others.
Bands I have photographed in a variety of settings (photoshoots, stadiums, arenas, clubs) include AC/DC, Metallica, Disturbed, Slipknot, Slash's Snakepit, Korn, Kid Rock, Machine Head, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Dio, Pantera, Staind, Danzig, and dozens of others!
